On Wednesday, two workers from the Humane Society waded through knee-deep water and trudged into a destroyed home in Dickinson, Texas. That included Rosana Nagera, 27, who took shifts with her husband in the rain with their shivering dog.

"We would never want to interfere with local reunification work", Harvey added.

Volunteers and Klein fire fighters carry pets and possessions of a rescued resident that was stranded in her home along the flooded Cypress Creek in Klein, a north suburb of Houston, Texas, on August 28, 2017.

Meanwhile, hundreds of miles away, animal-welfare groups are opening their doors to homeless dogs and cats threatened by the storm.

None of the animals being transferred to HES are owned pets, according to a news release.
